Marilyn Manson is now the subject of a now completed 9 month Rolling Stone investigation published Sunday night about the sexual abuse he used to reign on women. He would lock them in a soundproof chamber for the “tiniest perceived transgressions” in what was called ‘the Bad Girls’ Room in his West Hollywood apartment. His former assistant Ashley Walters is suing for sexual assault and battery saying that he openly joked about the room often. Another former assistant by the name of Ryan Brown said he never saw the room but said “It was common knowledge that’s what everybody had called it.” In 2012, Manson himself said in a magazine interview “If anyone’s bad, I can lock them in it, and it’s soundproof,” pretty much confirming its existence.
An ex of Manson’s, Ashley Morgan Smithline said she was one of the women locked in this ‘Bad Girls Room’ he had stating, “At first, he made it sound cool. Then, he made it sound very punitive. Even if I was screaming, no one would hear me.” About the size of a department store dressing room, she said if she fought him about going in there he would “enjoy” the struggle.
Want to know a creepy detail about his sex life? The word AIDS was spray painted above his bed. Imagine having sex in that. And he kept the thermostat below 65 degrees at all times. The apartment was where “repeated acts of mental, physical and sexual abuse that have left [his victims] with crippling bouts of anxiety, depression, panic attacks and PTSD,” the reort stated. As for all the accusations about his behavior, he’s reportedly denied them all.
